Shattered

((Ahem. A short story of human being saved by what they assumed was an angel; only to witness that this so called "angel" was anything but that. *No warnings, I don't think. Talk about Oc's universe/home being destroyed. Hopelessness, feeling of loss, comfort, then betrayal.

I did my best for Shattered Dream, like I had said in a previous post, I don't know much about him. I read the fandom wiki's to kind of help me out. So, possible OOC for him. Probably ooc for him. heh...

The story was inspired by lyrics from "Unbecoming" by Starset.

You found me drifted out to sea

It's automatic

It's telepathic, you always knew me

And you laugh as I search for a harbor

As you point where your halo had been

But the light in your eyes has been squandered

There's no angel in you in the end

Enjoy the fic!

"I hope you find your room to your liking. Good night, my starlight."

The room? It was more than I had expected. The large bed was comfortable, covered with silk sheets and a cozy warm comforter. The amount of pillows outnumbered the ones I had on my own bed at home. The rest of the room was very spacious, lined with a wardrobe, a vanity, a body length mirror, a bench that sat at the end of my bed, and in the wall in the middle of the room was a fireplace with a fire burning bright and warm.

The castle was cold and dark when Dream led me to my room. The only light was from the burning torches that sat high up on their holders on the walls. The light from the flames gave the environment a gothic and almost creepy feel to the halls. The fireplace in my room was a comfort for sure. The light from the flames of my fireplace was perfect, as well as the candle lights that sat all around the room. Even the connected bathroom had candle lights burning.

Being here made me feel like royalty. A better feeling than what had had only hours ago when I found myself without a home-

That's right. I no longer have a home. What did Dream say? My universe was destroyed and somehow, miraculously I survived and was thrown into the anti-void? The dull room? Plains? Whatever you want to call the boring, blinding place that is the "anti-void."

I was lost. Walking for hours, I think? I couldn't keep track of time. I didn't even know if it was day or night! My body was exhausted by the time Dream found me. I was lost, and so worn down that I had thought he was a hallucination. But then, he came to me as if he were an angel sent from above! Even though he was a skeleton.

His gloved hand held out while he gave me a brilliant, calming smile. His eyes are pretty gold, as was the circlet he wears on his head. His clothing made him look like an angel of sorts, though they didn't billow like you would see in the movies. But, the yellows were so vibrant, and the green or turquoise bordered the tunic he wore. The black under armor? Or maybe it was compression wear? Whatever it was, it was the perfect look for his outfit, making him look so regal.

I hadn't realized I was on my knees when he found me, dried tears caked to my face. When did I start to cry? It had to have been while I was aimlessly walking about the empty void. With hesitation, I took his hand and he pulled me to my feet, and oh, his voice was so majestic, so imposing.

"There, there. No more crying."

He settled my nerves, my sadness, my anxiety. He told me how he watched me break free from the destruction of my home and fell here.

"I'm sorry it took me so long to find you. Now that I have you, will you allow me to help you?"

I couldn't say no. Not when I had nowhere to go and no home to go back to. Going with him was the safest for me, the only way for me to get out of here.

"My name is Dream."

"Are you a guardian angel?"

He laughed softly at my question, his free hand gently covering his teeth, as if to hide his laughter. His pretty gold eyes shifted to look at me.

"Is that what you think I am?"

I nodded; of course I thought he was an angel! He saved me! His only response was a soft pleased hum as he guided me through a strange portal.

I slept so soundly throughout the night.

I felt so safe. Not even my nightmares could get to me. It was like Dream was protecting me physically and mentally. I knew I could stay here forever, or for as long as Dream allows me to stay. Somehow, I had to repay him for his kindness.

If only I had thought better of the situation when I had met Dream.

The next few days (at least I think it's been days) went by without a hitch. Dream continued to help me out. He conjured up new clothes for me- he must have gone out and bought them! Another thing on my list of things I needed to repay Dream for. The food was very delicious, and his company was soothing. We talked. (I talked to him, Dream listened.) We got to know each other! (Dream got to know my personality, my likes, my dislikes. My comforts and my fears.) Everything seemed to be going well, and I was so happy about it!

"How would you like to live with me?"

Dream finally asked, his elbows were propped up on the dining table and with his fists clenched, his chin rested on top of them. His grin was lazy, relaxed. His eyes were unreadable, but I didn't notice. I perked up and I could feel my lips widening into a grin.

"I would love to! I really like it here!"

Dream chuckled and leaned back in his seat. "Wonderful. I must throw a welcome party for you."

I raised an eyebrow as I finished my breakfast. "A party? You don't have to do that."

"Oh, but of course!" Dream said with enthusiasm! He stood from his seat and started to walk towards the doorway leading out of the dining room and into the kitchen. I grabbed my now empty dishes and followed after him. It would be rather rude to just leave them on the table! As I walk into the kitchen, fully intending on washing my own dishes, I paused and my grin faltered.

Dream walked over to three skeletons who looked oddly similar to Dream. I paused as I looked at each of them and frowned.

"What's going on?"

Dream turned to face me as he stood in between the grinning skeletons. His hands slipped behind his back and hooked together as he stood in a perfect, regal stance. His friendly grin was gone and was replaced with something more sinister looking. As my own grin fell, the skeletons' grins widened.

"We're going to throw a party for you, remember?"

I glanced at each skeleton, then at Dream.

"These are your friends?"

"you sure did pick a stupid one, shattered!" The one skeleton with what looked like a wriggling target on his front spoke with a snarky tone.

Dream hummed with amusement as he seemed to take great joy in my discomfort.

"A naive human, yes. But, they are perfect for what I have planned."

As he spoke, Dream's body shifted into something more grotesque, terrifying so. His body leaked with what resembled black tar that continuously dripped from his body. His left eye socket was covered by his goopy tar, and the right socket remained the pretty gold color I grew to love. I choked on a gasp when from his back four tendrils protruded out and hovered and wiggled behind him.

He pointed to his head, a sickening amused grin widening as his one good eye socket widened in mirth.

"Still think I'm an angel? There was never a halo, pet."

His once majestic voice was gone and replaced with something so dark and frightening. He was a nightmare.

"You tricked me. Into doing what exactly?"

I was hurt, betrayed. I thought he was my friend. I thought he was my savior.

"Anything that I desire of you."

"But, why?"

"Why do you think, pet? A lost soul in the anti-void? You should consider yourself lucky that I found you and not Error."

"I don't know who that is." I shook my head. It was then I felt myself trembling in fear. The dishes were still held tightly in my hands.

"Oh, you'll meet him eventually; and when you do, you can thank him for destroying your home."

My eyes slowly widened as he said this.

"H-He's one of your friends?" Dream's laugh was my answer. "Dream- why?"

"hehe! they're still calling you by that name?"

"his name... is shattered."

"you should be thankful he saved you."

"Heh. I suppose I should give introductions. These will be your friends. Killer, Dust, and Horror."

Drea- Shattered gestured to each skeleton. Killer was the one with the wiggling target, the black tears streamed down his cheekbones and stained his bones. Dust was the one with the mismatched eyes. Blue was what made up the middle, while the red bordered it. I could barely make out his grin. He wore a torn scarf around his neck. And finally, Horror was the big guy with a huge crater on top of his skull. A massive head wound and just below that was one large, nightmarish eye light. His clothing, much like the other two's clothing choice, was torn and bloodied. Horror was the perfect name for him.

I moved without thinking. My dishes fell from my grasp as I turned to run. Where the hell was I going to go? I never left the castle. I didn't even know where this castle was! But, the safest place I knew of at that moment was my bedroom.

"want me to chase after them?" Killer grinned as he summoned his knife.

"i can chop... off their feet." Horror snickered.

Dust grunted in disgust. No way was he running after that human, unless Shattered asked for him to do so.

"No. Let them run. There's nowhere to go. I will always know where they are from now on."

Shattered's laughter echoed through the halls, reaching the ears of the panicked human who was now a prisoner to Shattered Dream and his team of Bad Sanses.
